So, my girlfriend's got a notebook and it wont boot anymore
getting this screen:
(hitting enter, escape, whatever, nothing works, except when hitting f10 getting some shitty menu like below)
(random image, dunno what's in her list though)
already tried google and microsoft site, but haven't found anything except to boot the pc into safe mode
which leads to the next problem, when she hit's the f8 button to get advanced booting option shit, nothing happens, so basically she always gets stuck on this screen.
Also, can't use a software cd since you cannot put any cd's in it :D
anyone got a solution? thanks.

Solution: Don't boot from cd if you don't have cd.

If you get really really stuck, download or buy the Ubuntu disc from their site. With Ubuntu you can boot up from disc or a USB device and save files that you want from the hard disk.
The first boot up device must be HDD,second one CD...
